On Thursday, March 26, the 50 Days Fundraiser for the Class of 2009 will be held at the Improv Asylum on Hanover Street in the North End at 8pm. The purpose of the event is to celebrate 50 days until graduation at a venue outside of Simmons.
Another purpose of the event is to raise money for the class of 2009 and events during Senior Week. Tickets are $20 and half of all ticket sales will go to the class of '09. An e-mail to the class of 2009 states that students can get tickets by calling 617-263-NUTS (6887) and mentioning the promo code GRAD09.
All seniors are invited to attend as well as faculty and other Simmons community members.
I think it sounds like a fun event, if seniors go. It would be nice to raise money for events during senior week like the Commencement Ball. Perhaps the commencement ball won't be as much as a controversy as the Soiree was...

It seems like everyone has a birthday in March or April. I've realized I'm going to start going broke on birthday gifts in the next few weeks.

Three out of the four of them were born on the same day...all different years.
After living with my roommate for four years now, I'm out of ideas for a birthday gift. Last year I got her 21 balloons in her two favorite colors and filled her room with them. She liked it, but the gift was "dead" after a week and ended up costing more than you'd think. I decided that was a waste of money this year.
I am struggling with what to get her. I have an idea but won't write it in case she reads this. I want it to be useful, unique, and worth buying all at the same time. Who knows where we will end up a year from now, so we might not celebrate her birthday together next y ... more »
